Alright, so what were you thinking, cousins or such?

If you're still accepting, I think I'd like to try my hand at this.

Yeah sure, go ahead and make a NS.

@Usurper King

I'll look through your NS in more detail later (don't have the time), but based on what you told in in terms of territory claim and what kind of nation it is, your population is far to large, not to mention exceeding the limit as it is. I would recommend a more reasonable population of around 80,000,000 or lower. I mean half your nation is Gobi desert like wasteland, not exactly the best living space for the most populated nation in the RP. Though other than that, at first glance it seems fine. Like I said, once I have the time, I'll analyze it in greater detail.

@Everyone
Okay! Role call! What's the situation in developing your NS? Just want to see how many people are almost/already done so I can take a guess as to when I'll get the IC stuff up. I've said this before and I'll say it again, no rush. If you need time, don't sweat it, I want at least the majority ready to go before I start anything in the IC.

[Zaresto]

I'm still here. I'll work on finishing up my NS very soon, and after that I'll start work on military specifications and international relations.

[Omega]

I can knock out the necessary stuff before thursday for sure and most make minor additions like military details later.

[urukhai]

I ready any time you are, just doing military equipment.

Could be fun if he is facing heavy overpopulation and stretched for land. It is fun to RP major flaws in nations.

Not really that fun for me considering his nation is my nations neighbor. I mean, I'm freaking out over here looking at how OP his military is compared to mine.

Then win through superior tactics and guile. Call upon allies, ruin his economy, destroy his morale.

I have not looked at either of your militaries honestly so i do not know how unfair it actually is but unfair matchups are often the most fun to RP for me.

Who wants their war effort bankrolled by the Commonwealth? The major banks arn't above giving loans to imperialist states, although they will expect payment. And those loan recovery assassins have had a lot of practice.

Serioulsy though, I'd like to position the Commonwealth as a neutral party to Imperialist countries that while being a bastion of hyper capitalism and liberal ideas, its also a major supplier of high-grade anthracite coal, oil, steel, and war material for any nation willing to buy. Any takers on being major trade partners?

[Zaresto]

Omega: I'm really just afraid that some shizzle is going to start almost as soon as the roleplay begins.

Skylar: I'm down with being a trade partner. No doubt my country would want some raw materials to expand their technological capabilities.

The Dominion requires steel for blades, gold for it's men, and oil for it's machines.

That was just for effect, want to work out some sort of major trade deal?

Certainly. The Commonwealth is in a solid position to supply steel, oil, and lend gold bulleon and coins via associated deals with a dozen companies or a couple tycoons.

The question is, what can you trade in return? Loan repayments with interest? Land deals? Allowances for Commonwealth factories and railroads in your territory? Resources and rare elements? Mercinaries?

In particular, I would like to have the Webster-Milliam Biscuit Company to have a foothold in your country, with several factories dedicated towards creating tasty, filling, and cheap canned biscuits using your local labor. With the associated economic fallout of allowing this old, venerable, and powerful corporation into your lands, such as what the diet of the working class is coming to. Even if they have no interest in making anything but biscuit products (at the moment)

[Omega]

Well what all are your planned major exports? I do not have my natural resources nailed down quite yet so I can adapt something off an interesting deal we hammer out there.

As for factories and railroads I would like to work out some kind of deal there. My nation would be tentative to allow a foreign company a strong foot hold in their territory without some oversight or direct gain from the factory itself. I can likely accomadate railroads if you want obuild some though be aware that my nation will be using them as well.

I haven't work on my Ns ;-; Sorry Kilo6, I'll work on it.

Planned Exports: High-grade steel, anthracite coal, oil products, helium, money-lending, surplus tanks and landships, corporate trade deals, clockwork gadgets (or even soldiers if you go to Minagis), railroads.

What I'd like for imports: raw iron, wood, luxuries (ANY and all forms of luxuries), medicine, some different forms of food, ideas, cheap labor.

Does that work in any way?

[Omega]

I can do food for sure, I have 2 nice flood plains for farming various foodstuffs, mostly grains like rye as well as cattle and poultry. The terrain is also good for soft woods so while i cannot provide stuff like oak I can give you maple, ash, and walnut style wood. I am thinking bauxite, copper, and silver would be good my main minerals of note besides iron and coal of moderate quality and quantity for my nation. I note you said nothing of naval ships, would you be interested in purching naval ships of any kind?

I have good production capability already though could certainly use high quality steel and coal. My oil production I was thinking was around sufficient so I will likely want to import some oil as well.

I actually had an idea to have a slowly developing wine industry in my nation perhaps your nation might be interested in investing in that to accelerate the growth of that industry.

Clockwork I am really looking at in my nation and I think maybe that it could be cool if your nation was trying to sell my nation on the idea of it. Currently my nation relies on pistons and hydraulics and that could prove an interesting point to RP out.

I realize i am kind of rambling. I like writing up nation interaction stuff and generally just throw stuff out there so tell me what you think of what I have here.

I now have Tanks!

Now its time for those Aircraft and Walkers.....

My nation could probably do with some steel, coal, and helium, so that would definitely spur some trade.

As for your nations demands, the mountain ranges in the north would definitely allow for a surplus of raw iron/wood in my nation.

And, judging by how my nation focuses alot of its resources on technological progress, I would reckon Linesseland could hook your nation up with some opiates.

Kilo, when you get a chance can we get some info on the scale of the map?

Sure, I'll try to scale the map for you guys. In the meantime, does anyone need the map updated with their location?

How fast are your tanks? Just curious.
